We haven’t even fully recovered from the battle scars inflicted during CNY
and Valentines is here to rub salt into our wounds!
For those of us who just suffered a break up or hasn’t yet found the man of our dreams, here’s 14 things to do to avoid wallowing in a state of #foreveralone!
1. Make a List of Why You are BETTER OFF Single
The list may start off something like…
$$$ and Time saved on needlessly expensive presents!
Just think of how much time and money you can save when you don’t have to shop around for yet another tie, shoes, wallet or customized gift for the other person!
and perhaps end with…
You don’t have to pretend to care about what he’s interested in
Rejoice!
You’re now FREE from all these really boring conversations surrounding Army, Gundams, DOTA or Cars…
2. Invite some friends over for some REALLY GIRLY STUFF
Valentines Day is a great day to call your single girlfriends over to indulge in those makeup and beauty Youtube tutorials, turn up the music, mix your favourite cocktails and bring out the beauty products!
Valentines’ Day should be about doing what you really like to do without worrying about how those annoying guys judging you.
If it takes being single to make that happen, so be it!
3. Show your Hands and Nails some LOVE
It doesn’t matter if you are not heading out on Valentine’s Day, you don’t need a date to pamper your hands and nails!
Branche Nail Salon is the place to go if you’re looking for THE ultimate nail experience.
With champagne and Japanese snacks served to you while you’re getting your nails done by top nail artist Safori, there really isn’t any place better to soothe your lonely heart.
Did we also mention that paragel nail doesn’t damage your nails at all?

If Branche is out of your budget, there is always the trusty Queen’s Market to get your low-damage Calgel nails!

If you can’t decide on a nail colour, get one that that reflects your personality!
4. Do some online shopping!
Why swipe right on Tinder when you can (virtually) swipe your credit card and treat yourself to a well-deserved shopping spree?
Many fashion and beauty e-commerce stores are having V Day discounts so keep an eye out for them and splurge while you can!
P.S. Doesn’t it feel great not to have someone nagging over your next purchase?
5. Plan your next holiday trip!
Sunset in Florence, Italy
You may not have time to take a last minute trip overseas but why not plan for a longer trip later on in the year?
Agent G highly recommends Florence (Firenze) in Italy… other than being picturesque and relatively safe for solo female tourists, Florence is close to some of Italy’s most popular factory outlets!
Planning is half the fun… so instead of taking a package tour, consider reading up about the places you want to go and explore the cities on your own on a free and easy trip!
(Who needs Men when you can go on an exciting trip all on your own?)
6. Experience Japan with a Japanese Organic Facial or Hair Salons
If overseas trips are too costly and tiring to plan, you can still experience a little bit of Japan by heading down to Japanese salons!

We’re confident that you’ll be blown away by the super thoughtful service given by the founder of Organics Beauty herself, Shizuka, who will be able to let you experience a little bit of Japan with her unique organic facial that incorporates leg massage and more!
Rubik Hair Salon @ Raffles Hotel
And then there is Rubik Hair Salon @ Raffles Hotel with their super awesome hair treatment + attentive service + skillful Japanese hairstylists that will definitely remind you about the best of Japan!
7. Keep up with the Korean Wave!
It’s the Sunday after CNY and sometimes, all we want to do is to stay at home and…
Catch up with the latest Korean dramas + variety shows!
It could be Running Man, Twenty Again or The Producer… we’re one of those who can spend hours bingeing on the latest dramas if we have the time!
Digital Perm at Zinc Korean Hair Salon
Of course, getting our hair permed or volume rebonded at a Korean salon is possibly a better use of our time since a perm can make us feel better about ourselves more than a K-drama can ever do!
If you want to know why you should definitely check out a Korean salon, check out the reasons why Korean Salons are all the rage these days here!
8. You gotta move it move it!
You may be single during Valentines this year… but this doesn’t mean you’ll be single forever!
Keep yourself in shape by planning an exercise routine and keeping to it the rest of the year so that you’ll be in tip top condition when you actually meet “THE ONE”!
9. Dress Up and Meet Someone New at Lucha Loco’s Anti-Valentines’ Party
The Kissing Booth was a big hit at Lucha Loco’s Anti-Valentines Party last year!
This year, they will be providing tequila shots on the house and having some panty-dropping action so do register on their Facebook page if you are interested in going!
(There is no cover charge but there is priority entrance for registered guests!)
10. Go Wet and Wild at Tanjong Beach Club
Who says you can’t sex up a beach in the middle of the day?
TBC is organizing a beach party with games like Giant Twister, Suck and Blow with its Smack my Beach Up party on Vday!
Read more about the details here!
Before you head down Tanjong Beach Club though, consider getting some waterproof eyelash extensions at KJStudio so you don’t have to worry about mascara streaking all over your eyes during the hot and wet singles’ games!
11. Take some photographs on Valentines Day
You may not be attached on Valentines Day but you can still immerse in the atmosphere of love by joining these photographers on a special street photography walk that begins from Esplanade!
Be prepared to be bombarded with scenes of couples doing couple-ly stuff…
but hey, you may just meet the man of your dreams among the singles photographers during the photo walk!
Get the details for the photo walk here!
12. Give your Love to those who matter
Valentines Day isn’t just for lovers!
Take the time to celebrate this day with your parents, family and your BFFs, the ones who truly love you for you!
13. Immerse in the world of Books
Books is a safe refuge you can always count on to make everything better.
Read something you love or a new novel you didn’t have the time to start and tear over the many struggles the heroine has to go through…
And everything will be just fine!
14. Reflect on what you want out of love!
Take the time to listen to your inner voice.
What do you want from love? What type of guy are you really looking for?
Think, meditate, brood.
Whether you want to remain single for a few more years or want to start dating today, that clarity of thought can help you make the right love decision later on.
Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at Beauty Undercover!
Hope you can find the love of your life soon!
